With the days stretching toward the Summer Solstice and Daylight Savings Time in full effect, “not enough time in the day” is an excuse without merit this time of year. So head out and enjoy one of the fun and unusual events taking place in Suffolk this spring.

suffolk events7

fore!There’s so much pressure in a game of golf. Find the right club. Keep the cart off the greens. Don’t hit someone in the head with a ball. Disc golf, on the other hand, is — quite literally — a walk in the park. And it’s much harder to lose a fluorescent flying disc than a little white ball.

28

Get yourMotor runnin'

For some folks, motorcycles are just a fad, a phase that some middle-aged men go through as they try to fight the inexorable slip of time. Tom “Stumpy” Neumann isn’t fighting anything. His obsession with motorcycles goes back to his childhood, and his easy relationship with bikes can be read in the lines on his face.

24

A Picnicin the PArkA loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou. Or maybe a couple of PB&J sandwiches, some juice boxes and a backseat full of kids. Or a box of fried chicken, a few soft drinks and some friends. Suffolk has a picnic spot to meet just about any need.

get to know

Things are never boring for a park ranger.Candace Edwards walks slowly around Sleepy Hole Park,

keeping a close eye on trashcans and bathrooms.She eyes dogs to make sure they’re on leashes, checks the trail-

heads that dot the park’s paved walking path and keeps a close eye out for litter. There’s none in sight.

Edwards is a park ranger for Suffolk Parks and Recreation. Based at Sleepy Hole Park, she occasionally gets called to other parks also. Her favorite, she admits, is Lone Star Lakes, because it has more wildlife.

It’s the perfect job for someone who grew up hunting, fishing and hiking on her family’s farm near Marion, a small town in Southwest Virginia. The job is a combination of caring for the land and inter-acting with people, while still having the chance to do some small repair and carpentry projects.

“This really fits my personality, because it’s a mix of maintenance and environmental education,” she said.

Though being a park ranger might seem simple enough, the 28-year-old Edwards juggles dozens of projects that must be com-pleted at the park. She keeps them all straight on a dry-erase board with color-coded checks, dots and X’s to mark off the ones she and her staff have completed — things like ordering supplies, finishing gardens and repairing fences.

There are some projects that are never complete, though. Empty-ing trash, cleaning the bathrooms and checking the park are daily or even hourly tasks, and the grass keeps growing, even after it’s mowed.

“It’s a lot of mowing,” she said, adding it takes about 18 man-hours to mow the entire park. “We try to time it so we get everything mowed toward the end of the week, so it’s looking its best for the weekend.”

That’s because the weekend is the peak time for park visits in Suf-folk. But even on this springtime weekday, there are several people walking around the park, some with dogs.

The leash law is the park rule most frequently violated, Edwards said, but even that doesn’t cause much trouble. Most people put their dogs back on a leash when asked, she said.

Unfortunately, most of the creatures in the park don’t have to comply with a leash law.

“Bug spray is a definite every morning,” she said. “I keep a well-stocked cabinet of bug spray. I’ve had to really grow as a person getting used to ticks being on me all the time.”

Other than applying bug spray each morning, Edwards doesn’t have a set daily routine. She works from 7 to 4 each day, but does even her daily tasks in a different order to make each day different. But one thing that never changes — besides the bug spray — is her dread of emptying the trash on a hot summer day.

Fortunately, the job comes with perks as well — things like work-ing with children in Tiny Tykes, Outdoor Adventure Kamp, Earth Day activities, the Children’s Learning Garden and other programs.

“I’m a people person, so it’s nice to meet different people and hear about how they perceive the park,” she said. ←

Making Memories

Few activities are more likely to result in lasting memories of warm spring-time fun than the traditional picnic.

Whether it consists of a peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich meal followed by an hour on the playground or a made-to-order affair with food provided by one of the city’s locally famous markets followed by a romantic sunset over the Nansemond River, a picnic in Suffolk can provide a great opportunity for family bonding or even the blooming of a summertime romance.

Since Suffolk has the distinction of being a growing suburban community in a vast rural setting, at any given time there are countless couples and families looking for a chance to get outside and enjoy some time together.

Following are some of our favorite picnic spots around the city.

bennett’s Creek park

Bennett's Creek Park features 57 acres, packed with three boat ramps that access the Nansemond River through Bennett's

Creek, as well as tennis courts, restrooms, covered shelters for reserved use, a nature trail, open fields, a disc golf course and a crabbing and fishing pier with handicap access that is currently being rebuilt. A new skate park opened there in 2011. You’ll find plenty of places to spread out a blanket and enjoy the day.

KidsZone Community Playground, and Howard Mast Tennis Complex (10 courts, four of which are lighted). Other ameni-ties include parking, covered shelters for reserved use, restrooms, a walking loop, a skateboard spot, picnic tables and benches. If you want your kids to burn off some steam after lunch, this is just the place to take them.

LOne star Lakes park

Lone Star Lakes offers 11 lakes for freshwater fishing, nature trails and picnic areas with tables and grills. There's also a playground, a four-mile horse trail, archery range, model airplane flying field, fishing and crabbing pier, shoreline fishing areas, and plenty of flora and fauna. Lone Star Lakes is one of the best and most accessible places in Suffolk to go and sit quietly while

waiting to see some wildlife. It’s not unusual to catch a glimpse of a bald eagle soaring high overhead.

sLeepy hOLe park

Sleepy Hole Park is home to a variety of natural areas, 12 picnic shelters available for reservation, volleyball areas, horseshoe courts, a children's playground, restrooms, open space and breathtaking views of the Nansemond River. There’s a pond for fish-ing, wide open spaces for just about any family sporting activity one could imagine and great trails where the kids can imagine they’re exploring the wilderness.

Lake COhOOn

Culpepper Boats now operates the Lake Cohoon Fishing Station, located off Pitch-kettle Road at the dam that separates Lake

Cohoon and Lake Meade. There are several picnic tables available, including some for the handicapped, and a great view of Lake Cohoon to be had from any of them, but the main attraction is the fishing. Day passes are available for folks who want to fish from the shore after having lunch, and boats and motors can be rented for those who’d like to take their fishing — and maybe their picnic, too — on the water.

in the newsbest in showSuffolk Living magazine won a best-

in-show award for artistic design and presentation during the annual advertis-

ing and news conference of the Virginia Press Association in Roanoke in April.

Designer Troy Cooper earned the award for the Spring, Summer and September/Oc-tober editions of Suffolk Living, which judges deemed to be the best examples of artistic direction for specialty publications — those that publish less often than weekly — of all sizes in Virginia.

The Design and Presentation category was judged by journalists from the Illinois Press Association on the basis of art direction, pack-aging, use of photography, display type and ease of use.

Cooper’s first-place award in the Design and Presentation category put him in the running for the top award. He also shared a third-place

award with former staff writer Andrew Giermak for a magazine feature about T-ball coaches in the Combination-Picture-And-Story category. Editor Res Spears won a first-place award in the Feature Photo category for a photo of a man lighting a pipe at Bond’s Cigar Shop in Harbour View.

This is the first year Suffolk Living magazine has participated in the VPA’s annual contest, though the Suffolk News-Herald has participat-ed for many years. Suffolk Living magazine and the Suffolk News-Herald are both produced and published by Suffolk Publications. Staff members from the newspaper also work on the magazine, producing a new edition every other month.

The Suffolk News-Herald won 14 separate awards in its division of the News and Adver-tising Contest this year.

“I’m very proud of Troy and all the Suffolk Publications staff for the hard work they do, both on Suffolk Living magazine and on the

Suffolk News-Herald,” Editor Res Spears said. “I’m blessed to have such talented people to help produce these publications, and I’m very gratified that their talents have been recognized by other professionals in our field.”

Awards were presented to Suffolk News-Herald staff members for informational graph-ics, editorial pages, lifestyle or entertainment pages, special sections or special editions, spe-cialty pages or sections, breaking news writing, business and financial writing, column writing, editorial writing, feature series or continu-ing story, general news writing, and personal service writing. ←

Tom “Stumpy” Neumann has nailed the

like the prototypical biker even if he were dressed

faded and torn blue jeans, the black sweatshirt, the

stud in his left ear and the wallet chain hanging on

his hip, and the picture is complete.

Neumann, who owns Stumpy’s Biker Barn on

Shoulders Hill Road in Suffolk, epitomizes the

image of the iconic American biker. His tiny shop,

which has been open since 2007 in a building that

was once used as a heifer barn on the Lotz family’s

300-acre farm in the years before that area sprang

into the Hampton Roads marketplace with its retail

and residential boom, has the gritty, cluttered feel of

a place run by a man for

whom motorcycles —

and not the faddish aura

that often surrounds

them — are the impor-

tant thing.

“There was always a

Harley in the driveway

when I was a kid,” he

recalled. “The bikes

were just something that

interested me."

motor runnin'where he had dozens of cousins who lived within shouting dis-

tance. His father and uncle were both motorcycle police officers.

He earned the moniker “Stumpy” by jumping over old tree

stumps on motorcycles as a teen — and then he sealed it as an

adult by grinding stumps as a heavy equipment operator, which

was his full-time job until he got the chance to live his dream of

working full-time on motorcycles.

“At this time in my life, it’s a labor of

love,” he said. “You’re not going to get rich.

Getting-rich days are over. I kind of just do

it to keep myself out of trouble.”

In most people’s getting-rich days, Neu-

mann was serving in the U.S. Air Force

and even traveling the rodeo circuit, riding

bulls and roping calves. But there always

have been motorcycles in the picture.

Neumann got his first bike, a 1966

Harley-Davidson Shovelhead, at the age of

17 and then rebuilt it. The bike is featured

in many of the photos on the wall of his

office. There have been other bikes —

probably about 30, he estimates — but this one obviously holds

a special place in his heart.

These days, he loves just about any motorcycle — domestic or

foreign, regardless of make, model, design or paint scheme. He

just loves motorcycles. When he talks about them or about his

grandchildren, he smiles, and the lines in a face that has clearly

seen some hard miles become even more distinct. And when he

greets a visitor with a handshake, calluses and spots of grease on

his hands attest to long years of working on bikes and engines.

And Neumann is all about the bike.

Take a look around the three-room shop and you’ll find walls

and display cases filled with chromed exhaust pipes, leather

seats, rubber gaskets and seals and a plethora of parts and ac-

cessories identifiable only to someone accustomed to building,

rebuilding and customizing motorcycles

of all descriptions.

In the workroom, bits and pieces of

motorcycles are everywhere. There’s

hardly a complete motorcycle in sight, but

several customers’ bikes sit outside, under

a couple of tents. An old library card cata-

log cabinet holds screws, nuts, bolts and

any small part or tool that will fit. Larger

items hang on the wall from floor to ceil-

ing. Where there’s nothing hanging, there

are phone numbers written on the wall

for friends, customers and pizza delivery.

At his rarely-used desk sits a ceramic

toad wearing a ceramic-leather hat and

jacket. On the other side is a dust-covered computer monitor

that hasn’t worked in two months, ever since a car slid into the

power pole outside and fried his electronics.

“I’m not that type of person,” he says, explaining why there’s a

monitor but no keyboard. In other words, not the kind that needs a computer to work.

There are a few collectibles and some Harley-Davidson jewelry here and there, but you won’t find much in the way of biker apparel — it’s just too much of a hassle, he says, and it takes away from the time he can spend on the work that made him start the business in the first place.

An example of that work sits in the small parking lot under a tent. “Vertebrae” is a chopper-style motorcycle that he built with an oil-cooled frame designed to evoke a spinal column. The bike fea-tures the largest tire manufactured for a motorcycle and a paint scheme designed to look like carbon fiber — two features he included just to try something new.

“You get bored with yourself, so you start working on things that are a chal-lenge,” he said. “I’m not into flair. It’s all experimental.”

The motorcycle’s 12-foot length and wide rear tire belie its nimble handling, he said. But the design and unadorned features are completely true to Neumann’s style.

“Everybody has their own little style,” he said. His style is pretty simply defined — “hardtails, straight bars and fat tires.”

Hardtails, motorcycles without rear sus-pension, are his favorites. “You feel more of the road,” he said. “You know you’re riding. I’m not a Cadillac type of person.”

But he’s not a motorcycle snob, either. Hardtails or softails, imports or domestic or custom — they’ve all got a place, he said. His wife (the fourth one, he admits, the one for whom he moved to Virginia 12 years ago) has different taste in bikes, and he becomes almost as animated talking about her Harley-Davidson Road King Custom as he does when he talks about Vertebrae, his own creation.

Since she had back surgery, she’s unable to ride it anymore, and he’s been trying to sell it for a while; the poor economy has interfered with getting a good price. But Neumann isn’t worried. Even if he has to hang onto it for a while, it’s just one more in a long-running collection of motor-cycles, one more way to connect to the freedom of the open road. ←

At one particular public golf course in North Suffolk, the clubs are circular, plastic and fluorescent-colored, greens keepers are as absent as buggies and the attire is

decidedly less formal than usual.A sporting craze that in recent

decades has swept the world, one that doesn’t require hefty member-ship dues or gear worth thousands of dollars, has well and truly landed in Suffolk.

According to one Suffolk enthu-siast, 33-year-old Joey Baltz, disc (not “Frisbee” – that’s a trademark) golf is a communal sport that’s only destined for even greater heights of popularity.

Baltz and Jason Denette, also 33, are warming up for a round one recent weekday.

It’s before 3 p.m. and they’re not the only ones on the course. (Scores of “golfers” can flock to the Bennett’s Creek course on a sunny Saturday or Sunday.)

“It’s a way to get out with your friends and get some exercise,” says Baltz, before letting fly toward his buddy standing a couple of hundred feet away. “It’s also a professional sport; people make a lot of money off of it.”

The bright green disc cuts through the sky like a flying saucer.

It hooks left, landing 30 yards from Denette, who dutifully trots off to retrieve it.

At the 18-hole disc golf course at Bennett’s Creek Park, Baltz and Denette are engaging in some back-and-forth practice throws to get the feel of some new discs before hitting the first fairway for real.

“Every disc has a different flight pattern,” Baltz says. “Some cut to the left, some cut to the right. Some stay dead straight. Some stay straight then cut right.”

Thomas Mathews, a ranger at Bennett’s Creek Park, explains

fore! that disc golf works in much the same manner as regular golf.

“The disc is the ball, and you aim for the basket, which is the hole,” he says.

As in regular golf, each hole has a par at-tached to it, and the difficulty level is somewhat similar to golf.

“Four hundred yards is about a par five,” Mathews says. “A lot of the holes (at Bennett’s Creek) are out in the woods, so you are trying to go around trees; and there’s a couple where you are going out in the marsh.”

According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, the sport’s popularity blossomed only after a series of abortive attempts at get-ting it off the ground.

In 1960, a Chicago plastics company at-tempted to market a plastic disc-based game they dubbed Sky Golf.

It didn’t catch on.Sometime in the late 1960s to early 1970s,

acting on a tip from a summer camp counselor who had observed his inventive charges playing something akin to the modern sport, Frisbee manufacturer Wham-O started pushing disc golf.

Then it lost interest.A few years later, Wham-O employee Ed

Headrick decided to include disc golf in the 1975 World Frisbee Championships. In 1976 Headrick left Wham-O to start the Disc Golf

Association Company, which finally lit the fuse for good.

The sport has now spread throughout the world, and the PDGA Disc Golf World Cham-pionships is an annual affair.

Disc golf course designer Bret Dukelow, who lives in the Western Branch area of

Chesapeake, says he and friend Keith Zetts approached Suffolk about bringing the sport to Bennett’s Creek Park, where golfers play free of charge, about six years ago.

Suffolk’s Ace Run Ranch has a pay-to-play course, and disc golf can also be enjoyed at Bayville Park and Munden Point Park in Vir-ginia Beach, at Newport News Park, as well as at Williamsburg’s New Quarter Park.

“It’s very big in Norway and Japan,” Dukelow says. “It’s popular everywhere.”

At least 15 to 20 companies now manufac-ture the beveled-edged plastic discs, Dukelow says. “It’s a good family sport,” he adds. “The se-rious guys don’t necessarily want to be around (recreational players), so they do tournaments.”

Back at Bennett’s Creek Park, Baltz says it can cost as little as “30 bucks” to get started in the sport.

“You get three discs in a bag — long, me-dium and short,” he says.

Baltz, who doesn’t consider himself a profes-sional disc golfer, usually carries “12 to 18” discs when he takes to the course. Denette carries about the same.

Having sorted out the flight patterns of their new discs, the bearded men are now playing their first hole of the afternoon.

Narrowing his eyes and assuming a putting stance — weight slightly on the front foot and one arm folded behind his back — Baltz gently flicks a pink disc toward the “hole,” a larger hoop of steel and smaller hoop of steel about two feet apart atop a steel pole four or five feet high.

With a metallic chink, Baltz’s disc passes through the closely spaced chains hanging be-tween the two steel hoops. It’s a successful putt, and he cracks a smile as he prepares to walk to the next hole. ←

Children from across the region are going to have the time of their lives at camp this summer. Mario Faulk is

sure of it.Faulk, the senior program director for the

Suffolk Family YMCA, is in charge of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads’ new regional summer camp, located on Kenyon Road in Suffolk. Known as Camp Arrowhead, the 55-acre campus will host hundreds of children for dozens of indoor and outdoor activities every weekday during the summer.

“This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime

experience,” Faulk said while conducting a tour of the camp this spring. “These kids are going to have so much fun every day.”

The YMCA purchased the site from the for-mer Hampton Roads Youth Center, a residen-tial program for troubled teens that closed in 2008 because of dwindling revenues.

The center left the driveway, a few parking spaces, the building and a basketball court in place. But the YMCA has added many of its own touches to the property.

There now is an in-ground, covered pool, a pavilion, eight shelters, an amphitheater, an

archery range, a walking track, sports fields and more.

But the biggest attraction for the kids will be the 50-foot alpine tower, Faulk said. The tower has several different levels of difficulty and features harnesses and other safety equipment.

“When they get to the top, it’s like somebody gave them a million dollars,” Faulk said. “This is the only one of these in Suffolk.”

At the amphitheater, the 325 or so daily campers will open the morning with prayer, devotions and camp songs. They will get sev-eral chances to swim each day, as well as to play

Mario Faulk shows off the amphitheater where campers at Camp Arrowhead will begin each day with prayer, devotions and camp songs. Faulk believes children will have the time of their lives this summer at the camp.

sports and visit the archery range.There also is a learning garden where the campers can explore how

vegetables grow.“So much stuff is out here that kids will never have an opportunity

to do in their life again,” Faulk said.Inside the remodeled build-

ing, there is a library with nature exhibits, a chapel and several large, open rooms with space for arts and crafts, music programs, table tennis, board games and other indoor activities.

“So much is going to happen,” Faulk said. “I know the impact that it has on kids. I’m so ready for it.”

Transportation to and from the camp will be provided from the Suf-folk, Franklin and Taylor Bend YMCAs, as well as from Creekside and Nansemond Parkway elementary schools. It is included in the cost.

A free lunch and snack will be provided every day, thanks to the Cover 3 Foundation.

The cost is $130 per child, per week. Scholarships are available through the YMCA. Registration is on a week-by-week basis, so chil-dren do not have to be able to attend for the entire summer.

For more information or to register for camp, call your local YMCA: Suffolk (925-4375); Franklin (562-6831); or Taylor Bend (483-8822). ←

Above, the 50-foot alpine climbing tower will challenge children of all skill levels. Inset, Camp Arrowhead is the newest YMCA facility in the area.

Many of the names have disappeared from modern maps, but some still exist: South Quay. Constant’s

landscape of Suffolk has as much to do with the water that forms its boundaries, borders and features as the actual land.

Water runs through Suffolk’s history like blood through a person’s veins. Without the blood flowing, there would be no life. Similarly, without the presence of the rivers, lakes and ponds that define much of Suffolk’s environ-ment, the city would lose the force that has animated so much of its history.

The influence of water in Suffolk can be seen stretching from the sands of Rivershore Beach, where Chuckatuck Creek and the Nansemond River empty into the mighty James River, to the

From the time of the Nansemond Indians, who plied

these waters in canoes long before explorers from Europe

had set foot in America, the waters of what one day would

become the city of Suffolk have provided sustenance, rec-

reation and relaxation to those who have lived near them.

And the same has been true throughout modern history, as

well.
